Dorothy ties the knot!

Apr 12, 2025

Former Mackay lab PhD student Dorothy Wai – author of such well-known studies as “The BRD3 ET domain recognizes a short peptide motif through a mechanism that is conserved across chromatin remodelers and transcriptional regulators” has recently tied the knot with her beau Ben down in Melbourne. All reports indicate that she didn’t set anything on fire during the ceremony, and that she is currently scheming to find the best way to introduce plants and cats into their household – looks like the plants will be a cakewalk but that the cats will require a strategy of greater cunning. Congratulations Dorothy (and Ben)!
